THE NEW HIGHWAY HYMNAL

Lost Lander

Even though only front man Hadden Stemp meets the drinking age, last year, psych-blues outfit The New Highway Hymnal started working their asses off playing basement shows, DIY fests, and local clubs around Boston week in, week out. Their hard work paid off because not only did these young musicians garner a cult following, but they also developed their sound, and slowly came into their own artistically. See them on March 16 at The Tiniest Bar in Austin, TX as part of the Vanya Records/Fort Point Recordings "Austin T Party" showcase.

OLDJACK

Knowing how rare it is two find great musicians, it's hard to believe that a band like Oldjack - with eight members and counting - can be as tight and connected. Lead vocals dripping with soul, catchy back up vocals and rocking bluesy guitar riffs come together harmoniously for this nitty gritty boot-stompin' band from Boston.

NIGHT FRUIT



On "Dark Horse," their follow up to their debut "Triangles EP," Night Fruit blend a shoegaze dreaminess with sinister post-apocalyptic undertones created by the otherworldy-ness of lead singer Amanda Dellevigne’s vocals. her voice rises and falls, dreamy and distant and rides Jonathan Gill’s guitar like a stripper on a pole -- all hips and swinging around.
